I was surprised to see that spots are in for another fall season.. but I am not complaining. I just picked up a new shirt-dress for fall :).. and I still have several pieces from last fall. Have a great day, Joanna!

I bought a polka-dotted top in Madewell (navy/white) very recently and wore it the first time this Sunday (I believe you have the skirt) Love the versatily of the pattern: It goes well with denim cut offs, skinny jeans or wide pants...XOXO

LOVE polka dots... they are so sweet, but also very classic! I just did a little polka dot round up on my blog recently as well. I can't wait to get my hands on some for fall! http://goodlifeforless.blogspot.com/2012/07/pattern-trend-polka-dots.html

I got an adorable cream colored sweater with neon orange polka dots from madewell a few weeks ago. It's light weight so I've been sneakily wearing it during the summer but I can't wait until the fall to wear it for real!

I have always - always - loved polka dots. I am so pumped that I can find them in stores so easily now. Seriously, I am usually pattern averse in an extreme sense, but I will almost always buy a cute polka dotted thing.

I am loving all the dots this season. I have been planning my sister's baby shower, she's having a girl, and I'm doing a lot of pink and white polka dots. For myself, I just bought some cute dotted underwear form the gap and a navy polka dot baggu shopper. For fall, I'm looking at accessories, J Crew polka dot wool scarf/shawl and their socks! So cute!

One of my cousins told me once that someone had told her never to wear polka dots because people will never take you seriously. I can't deny that really had an effect on me, I'm not sure if I'll ever want to wear polka dots! I just don't think they really fit my style, either. "Cutesy" doesn't appeal to me.

All that said, I was browsing JCrew's fall offerings yesterday and this sweater (http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/crewnecks/PRDOVR~11808/11808.jsp) really caught my eye. I think the dots are large enough to not feel cute and their irregularity feels more stylish.

The jeans are adorable. I'm so glad, because stripes were everywhere for summer, and now polka dots are here for fall! My two favorite basic patterns. If we get really lucky, plaid and fair isle will be a huge hit for winter! fingers crossed.

I saw this post and I thought ''ooh I love polka dots, yes! I wonder if I have any..'' and then I realized I was wearing a polka dot shirt (small white dots on coral red fitted button up) that I purchased in France (which sounds a whole lot fancier than it is..). I'm glad to see the trend is building!

I've been wearing lots of polka dots since early this year! I love them. I even found a great polka dots Kate Spade bag and was saddened when I sent it off to get repaired that they couldn't repair it. :(

Never been a huge polka dot fan, especially of the larger print variety. I'm more a stripes kind of girl (I have what some might call an addiction). I did really love the polka dot sweater at Old Navy, so perhaps I'll have to give it a try!

Wasn't this a trend just 2 years ago? I have a cute black top with white polka dots from J. Crew that is similar to the one you spotlighted above. I guess this is good because I don't need to buy anything to stay "on trend"!

Polka dots on everything were a huge trend in 2002/2003 when I lived in Europe. With H&M everything, I thoroughly indulged in the trend then, so I think this time around I will pass. Though that sweater....hmmmm

What else, cardigans, denim, and stripes? florals for spring?Lol.i don't see how this is a trend if its everywhere already and has been consistently in.A real trend looking at designer collections: cranberry/maroon for fall.

I've always been more of a stripe kinda girl, but lately I've been falling for polka dots too. I spotted a Brahmin polka dot bag online and I just loved it, unfortunately they don't ship to where I live. Now I found myself an adorable polka dot clutch and I'm sure it won't be the last item with this print. Loving the sweater!

Hi Joanna, what a surprise! I'm the girl on the photo (thank you!!!) My top and my skirt are vintage Gucci from my family: actually I rarely buy clothes because I prefer to use the vintage ones I find on abandoned closets. Kisses! Cécile

Apparently polka dots were in last fall too. I really wish Madewell would bring back that polk dot sweater it had last year (the one Jessica Alba can be seen wearing in paparazzi pics.) I love that one.

I'm a big fan of stripes and they seem to be "new" to some areas this year. But they were HUGE three years ago when I honeymooned in Australia.

I think of polka dots and stripes as classic prints and wear what I want whether it's in or not. (Of course, if it's not "in," it's harder to find new in stores.)

i am a polka dot girl! love the jeans. i have been rocking them all spring/summer and i'm so glad to see you confirm they'll be hot for fall. jcrew catalog just arrived which also helped confirm dots are hot.

@ L'armadio del delitto, that's so cool! How exciting for you! You're darling. Thanks for sharing your fashion tip. I'm much the same. I had a work supervisor last year who jokingly complained that everything she liked that I wore she couldn't buy anywhere because I had mysteriously "found it in my closet." It's fun, huh? :)
